2016 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · FL66 EOR

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance trend, consistently passing its MOT tests without any recorded defects. The most recent test on 3 March 2026 at 185,812 miles yielded a clean pass, indicating no immediate mechanical or structural failures. This unblemished record suggests the van has remained fundamentally sound through its working life, with no recurring issues requiring remedial attention. Accumulating 185,812 miles over a ten-year period equates to an annual average of roughly 18,580 miles, which is notably high for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage progression is remarkably consistent, advancing by approximately 13,000 miles annually between the February 2022 test at 135,564 miles and the March 2026 test. Such steady accumulation points to sustained commercial use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, meaning wear on drivetrain components, suspension, and brakes has been gradual but relentless. Despite the flawless MOT record, the high mileage demands a rigorous physical inspection. A buyer should closely examine the structural integrity of the chassis and load area, checking for corrosion or cracking that might not yet constitute an MOT failure but could compromise longevity. Suspension bushes and coil springs will have endured significant stress over 185,000 miles, so a thorough assessment of their condition is essential. Brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining life, while tyres must be scrutinised for uneven wear indicating alignment issues. The clean MOT history reflects a well-maintained vehicle, but the sheer distance covered means consumable components are likely approaching the end of their serviceable lifespan.
